AFC Wimbledon hit-man Tubbs named League Two player of the month

AFC Wimbledon striker Matt Tubbs has been named SkyBet League Two player of the month.

Tubbs has scored four goals in five games so far this season - including the opener in Saturday's 3-2 defeat at home to Stevenage Borough on Saturday.

Away from league action, he also has a Capital One Cup goal to his name, as well as the pride of hitting the winning penalty in the Dons Johnstone's Paint Trophy penalty shoot-out win over Southend on Tuesday night.

Boss Neal Ardley said: “This award is thoroughly deserved. Matt has been involved in six out of our seven league goals. I know – I do the stats.”

Sky Bet Football trading manager Paul Lowery said: “Tubbs is proving to be a great signing and has firmed up in the Sky Bet League Two top scorer betting.

“He was as big as 16-1 before the season, but is now the red hot favourite at 13-2 to take the golden boot.”

The 30-year-old was up against Cheltenham goalkeeper Trevor Carson, who kept three clean sheets, striker Kevin Ellison of Morecambe, and Wycombe Wanderers' midfielder Peter Murphy.
